Founded in 2009 by drummer and composer Andres Jimenez
(co-founder of M.A.K.U. SoundSystem), DILEMASTRONAUTA—“The
Astronaut’s Dilemma”—is an ambitious project dedicated to adapting
the diverse rhythms and musical sensibility of Colombia into more
modern, groove-based fare. Made up of reeds, keyboards, vocals,
electric bass, and a bevy of percussion, the group comes to BAMcafé
Live fresh from recording its latest album, Astronauta en
Tierra, a tribute to the folkloric music of Colombia’s
beautiful coast.
